Handicapper Big Al McMordie Free Sports Picks

At 8:30 pm, our selection is on the Golden State Warriors + the points over Houston.  The Warriors come into this game off back to back losses in Games 5 + 6.  Off those two defeats, we'll step in and take Steph Curry & Co. in Game 7.  Indeed, the Warriors are an awesome 11-3 ATS in the Playoffs following back to back losses, including a perfect 5-0 ATS on the road.  And they're 28-14 ATS when they've owned a winning record, and playing with double-revenge vs. .700 (or worse) foes.  Meanwhile, Houston is a poor 30-46-3 ATS when playing a .583 (or better) foe that is playing with double-revenge.  Take the Warriors + the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the UNDER in the St. Louis/Winnipeg game.  The Blues tallied 5 goals on Friday, and I expect Connor Hellebuyck (who allowed those 5 goals on just 23 shots) to bounce back on Sunday.  Rather than focus on these last six games, where Hellebuyck has gone 3-3 with a 4.42 GAA and .815 save percentage, I prefer to look at the big picture.  This is still the same goalie who won the Vezina Trophy last season (and is a finalist this year, after going 47-12-3 with a 2.00 GAA and eight shutouts in the regular season).  The Jets have gone 139-104 UNDER their last 243.  And the Blues are 19-13 UNDER off 3+ overs.  Take the Blues/Jets UNDER the total.  Good luck, as always....Al McMordie.

At 7 pm, on Sunday, our selection is on the Winnipeg Jets over the St. Louis Blues.  The home team has won all six games in this series, and I expect the home ice dominance to continue on Sunday.  The Jets are an awesome 21-3 this season as a home favorite, and 14-5 at home when revenging a loss.  Meanwhile, the Blues have dropped six straight road games.  Take Winnipeg.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
